ZawDecode - Potential & Ad-hoc Review

Back to previous blog post on the issues with Burmese digital writing fonts standard, people are still pointing fingers and a fool-proof solution is far away to settle on either Zawgyi or else. A friend shares me a Facebook post about a new font, Pyidaungsu Zaw Decode, that created by a researcher who is working at Myanmar Unicode & NLP Research Center. The font promises to render both Unicode and Zawgyi fonts and it seems to have a high potential to tackle the issue. The following is download URLs for True Type font and Android APK executables.

Web Scraping 101 with Python

Miniature Calendar This mini-project started from another design project called Miniature Calendar. It’s a beautiful creative project, which creates real world scenes with small scaled objects. The author of the project posts 1 creative idea per day in a chronological order.

I was just thinking a way to download these photos into my local image repository and enjoy as wallpaper and so on. So, why not analyze the site structure and try to scrap these images for ins...

Why zsh?

I’ve been using bash as primary shell since I started using Linux. It’s ok. Don’t bother looking for a better solution until I ran into this blog post about My favourite zsh features. TLDR people? Watch this Getting Started with ZSH (and oh my zshell) on Ubuntu from the same author of the blog post. It seems pretty good for interactive tasks and that auto completion feature is a dope. So,I decided to give a try. Installation For Debian system, just install it with aptitude tool by sudo apt-get install zsh Details of installing zsh can be seen at Installing ZSH.

Lazy way to version control git project

This is just a thought on maintaining source code on local system about the easiest and the most convenient way to avoid repetitive process. Code in Cloud As for projects working in several different computer,I think the best way to control version of the source code is to upload to cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox and so on. It’s working quite well for small to mid-size projects. For large scale projects, storage size might be a problem. The purpose of keeping inside cloud storage syncs the whole directory across your work and home PC. It skips the step of pulling...

Everyone knows Bruce Lee. He is a martial arts master, a movie star,and a student of Yip-man and more. As for an ordinary Asian dude, I wanna be like Bruce Lee when I was young. I wanna be a bad-ass like him. Nothing more than that… But after reading a brief biography about him, it seems that he is more than what I know when I was young. He studies philosophy and even writes poetry. The following quotes are some extracts of his belief and thoughts on life, learning and working. 10,000 Kicks I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced o...

Being a programmer

When I was at 9th grade, the language teacher gave a essay homework to write about your goal and carrer. At that time,I have nothing in mind but I am into computers so much. Windows 98 is a magical word for me to explore at my spare time. I wrote about how I want to become a “computer guy” without no specific specialization. I studies to get Computer Science degree and become a guy who writes code and trying to put things into logical concept. So far, people in my life think of me from different perspectives. My family think… My mother don’t know what I really do for a living until no...
